Vertical Challenge



Another visit to the School Garden for this "vertical garden".  It consists of a supported pallet with various second use plastic tubs wired to it.  It was going to be "vertical veg" but it is a lot less challenging to find drought forgiving plants for the summer holiday if you don't restrict it to edible veg.

As an exercise in using a small space to grow in using recycled materials it has been a lot of fun.  I think it might evolve a bit over the coming year with the lessons learned. It literally is lifting higher and higher!

  1. So do you have the job of watering in the summer break?

    1. I am delighted to report that the Garden Volunteers are operating a watering rota for the whole garden over the next six weeks! (Scottish schools' summer starts and ends two weeks earlier than English schools)
